Hello,

What is the measuring unit for IGM levels? Probably they suspected few condition like Kidney disorders, multiple myeloma, Macroglobulinemia of Waldenstrom's, chronic lymphocytic leukemia etc may lead to neuropathy cause your symptoms. Usually neuropathy due to treatable causes( b 12 deficiency or thiamine deficiency or cidp or led poisoning or infections) and non treatable causes like amyloid polyneuropathy or Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease,neurofibromatosis etc. Use tablet pregabalin 75 mg once daily for two weeks. if symptoms not improved please get it done nerve conduction studies, MRI spine, nerve biopsy etc. Please consult your neurophysician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
